driewiel Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Sensitive viewers please move away from your screens. I am now officially GATVOL. Briefly, paid in December 2008, no license yet, checked with club, checked with CGC on numerous occasions, always starts a merry-go-round of you have it, no you have it. Received an SMS on May 1, 2009, From CSA, "your license has been dispatched and will be ready for collection on May 4". So I launch a query to CGC today, because every clunb in Gauteng must get there licenses from them. SURPRISE, No @#@#ing license. Can I give up now??? F@#@ing useless, useless, USELESS. Maybe I should take my photo in hand to Cycling SA, and wait while they make my card.
Mavric Man Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Paid in Dec 08 got mine in May 09, incompetant bunch... Mavric Man2009-06-12 01:28:25
driewiel Posted June 12, 2009 Author Posted June 12, 2009 OK, we seem to have found the kinkel in the cable. The licenses are not being collected bythe clubs, and have been returned to myrace. My apologies to CGC and Myrace(CSA), I will try another glass of water next year......

Many Thanks Mike I got this response from Tarryn@cyclingsa.com<>Dear Claire, Please could you urgently approve Michael Hardy-Brown's application. ThanksTarryn But haven't heard anything yet
BrettAS Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Licensing is a HUGE problem. but the riders are not blameless. i have about 200 licences sitting in my office and have emailed all the people at least twice to get their delivery address so our courier can personally deliver these licences. think i have an answer yet?
jacko Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 i agree the cyclists are not blameless, if you are in central gauteng, contact the province via email, and someone will help you sort it out
Ryan Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Look to your club for answers. I applied on line, within a week my club called to say that the card was ready. Literally the easiest process i have ever experienced.

Napalm Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 There's clearly something wrong in the system, but a rider should be able to function whether their license has arrived or not. If I remember correctly, they should get their number in the newsletter, and organisers of races do receive a list of entrants with an indication if they're licensed or not. If a rider is charged a day license fee or fined, despite being licensed, I have a sneaky suspicion that that fees is plowed into someone's vacation rather than cycling as it should be.

gianni Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 If you have a race number surely this is proof of having a license? In this day an age you would think that organisers would have access to a list of licensed riders. A gap for someone to provide this service maybe
